Road shoes with a chance to take the super shoes for a spin.
Recommended running
As flat as it gets with decently wide paths, it is a go to session location for Edinburgh runners. Also a good recovery run spot.
local coffee fix
Detour espresso has great coffee and it worth visiting if you’re into cycling. Cult also does good coffee and food, though more expensive, but has some cool lego models on display if you’re a fan of that. There are no end of good cafe’s though so feel free to find your own.

Route details
Easy to get to from most of the city centre and you can start and finish wherever you want. The most common route for ripping a session is sticking to the perimeter but there are plenty of alternative paths that cut across, as well as decent grass if you wanted to stay off the tarmac.
The only downside is how busy this can get, so be considerate and aware of lots of other users.
